EVALUATING

Cargo and Page Forms Considering mw:Extension:Cargo and mw:Extension:Page Forms for structured data in-wiki for SSFWIKI. Other alternative would be mw:Wikibase.

The case of SSFWIKI is much simpler whereas Consumerium's case is very complicated to start with because of the vast interoperability demands for the knowledge graphs. In SSFWIKI I would use Cargo mostly for storing metadata about outgoing links and generate user friendly lists from those.

Yaron Koren wrote Cargo and he has also written the 'Working with MediaWiki book at workingwithmediawiki.com. In the book the relevant parts are found in Chapter 16 - Cargo and Semantic MediaWiki and Chapter 17 - Page Forms.

The experience from setting up a simpler case would help me learn how it would be possible to solve the things that Consumerium needs to function.

Making and verifying backups after resolving the thumbnailing problem on Consumerium.org developement wiki

  • I will look into how long that setting was like that and was there any rational reason for it

Some problem with image thumbnailing noticed

Last night I uploaded some images and noticed that the thumbnailing system is not working as it should. Looking at Special:ListFiles I notice that if the images are small enough, they do not meet the thumnailing criteria (maybe). This is probably some software component failing silently i.e. without throwing an error message. I have reached out for help in irc. The other wikis are working fine, but they are on a completely different server.

Making, verifying and stashing backups and taking a snapshot

Going to make backups and also take a snapshot, while waiting for some help or some realization of what is wrong, how did it go wrong and how to fix it.

Done. Going to make a snapshot of the system disk as well. Jukeboksi (talk) 17:02, 28 May 2022 (CEST)

Solved the lack of thumbnail generation

Solution was to set $wgGenerateThumbnailOnParse = true; # default is false # [1]
